I recently received a message from a buyer on Etsy who wanted to purchase this Metro Card painting of the Twin Towers :

World Trade Center No. 11

3.25" x 2 “ oil on Metro Card

I’ll admit, it’s a bit somber, gloomy, funereal even. But also a lovely geometry and respectful. No flaming, crashing planes and soaring eagles like so much other WTC "art.”

My buyer asked if I could create another painting to partner with this one: a rendering of the Freedom Tower, currently still under construction at the WTC site. 

And so I did –

Freedom Tower No. 1

 3’ x 3’ x7’ Oil on Metro Card  - VH McKenzie

More celebratory, more hopeful in the light of day………..
